[0026] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Embodiment 1

[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a cover pressing mechanism includes a base 1 and a pressure plate bracket 2 arranged on the base 1, a fixed pressure plate 3 and a movable pressure plate 4 are arranged on the base 1, the fixed pressure plate 3 and the base 1 are fixedly connected through the pressure plate bracket 2, the fixed pressure plate 3 and the movable pressure plate 4 are spaced apart, the movable pressure plate 4 is located directly below the fixed pressure plate 3, and the fixed pressure plate 3 and the movable pressure plate 4 are parallel to each other, and the movable pressure plate 4 moves relative to the base 1 in the vertical direction.

[0028] The fixed pressure plate 3 and the base 1 are fixed by the pressure plate bracket 2 in a "C" shape. A plurality of reinforcing ribs are arranged at the waist of the fixed pressure plate 3 and the pressure plate bracket 2, and reinforcing members are also arranged at the corners to increase the structural strength, so as to ensure that during the capping process, there will be no large deformation between the fixed pressure plate 3 and the pressure plate bracket 2 due to extrusion, thereby affecting the capping effect.

[0029] The movable pressing plate 4 is arranged between the fixed pressing plate 3 and the base 1, and the movable pressing plate can be translated between the two to achieve the effect of supporting the cup from below, supporting the top of the cup to the fixed pressing plate 3, and then fixing the cup cover to the top of the cup.

[0030] A cup space 40 is provided between the movable pressing plate 4 and the fixed pressing plate 3 , and cups are placed in the cup space 40 .

[0031] The mechanical claw transports the cup and the unfixed cup cover to the movable pressing plate 4 in the cup space 40, and the mechanism then lifts the movable pressing plate 4 to perform the cover pressing operation.

[0032] A cover driving member 41 is disposed at the bottom of the movable pressing plate 4 , and the output direction of the cover driving member 41 is from the movable pressing plate 4 to the side of the fixed pressing plate 3 .

[0033] The capping drive 41 is fixed on the base 1 , and the output end of the capping drive 41 is fixed on the bottom of the movable pressing plate 4 . When capping is required, the output end of the capping drive 41 lifts the movable pressing plate 4 and pushes the cup against the fixed pressing plate 3 .

[0034] The gland driving member 41 is any one of a screw motor driving mechanism, a cylinder driving mechanism, an oil cylinder driving mechanism and a linear motor driving mechanism.

[0035] In this embodiment, the cover driving member 41 is a screw motor driving mechanism.

[0036] The movable pressing plate 4 is connected to the base 1 via a plurality of guiding telescopic rods 42 , and the guiding telescopic rods 42 are distributed around the pressing cover driving member 41 .

[0037] The guiding telescopic rod 42 is used to guide the movable pressing plate 4, and also serves to stabilize the movable pressing plate 4 to prevent the movable pressing plate 4 from deflecting during the upward movement. Embodiment 2

[0038] The structure and principle of this embodiment are basically the same as those of the first embodiment, and the difference lies in that, with respect to the cover pressing mechanism of the first embodiment, the brewing device of this embodiment includes a cover pressing mechanism.

[0039] like Figure 6 As shown, the brewing device further comprises two clamping claws 5, and the clamping parts of the two clamping claws 5 are annular and symmetrical to clamp the cup.

[0040] The clamping claw 5 is used to clamp the cup. The clamping part of the clamping claw 5 is designed to be a contoured structure, and the contour is similar to the outer contour of the cup. The advantage is that it can contact the cup with the largest area, ensure the stability of the cup during transportation, and prevent damage to the cup due to excessive clamping.

[0041] The aperture of the inner wall of the clamping claw 5 gradually decreases from top to bottom in the vertical direction.

[0042] The design of the gradually decreasing aperture of the inner side wall of the clamping claw 5 conforms to the outer contour of the clamped cup, so that the cup can be stably fixed in the clamping claw 5 .

[0043] A cup holder protrusion 51 is provided on the inner side wall of the clamping portion of the clamping claw 5 .

[0044] The cup holder raised portion 51 cooperates with the raised ring portion at the mouth of the cup, so that the cup can be placed in the clamping claws.

[0045] The clamping claw 5 is also fixedly connected to a driving guide rail 6, and the driving guide rail 6 drives the clamping claw 5 to move in three-axis directions. Embodiment 3

[0046] This embodiment explains the driving guide rail 6 of the above-mentioned second embodiment.

[0047] like Figure 7 As shown, the clamping claw 5 is fixed on a driving guide rail 6, and the driving guide rail 6 can drive the clamping claw 5 to move on the X-axis and the Y-axis, and cooperate with the lifting mechanism in the clamping claw 5 to operate in three axes to achieve multi-state position adjustment;

[0048] Implementation method:

[0049] When the customer needs to use the brewing equipment, the driving guide rail 6 drives the clamping claw 5 to move to the cup, and the driving guide rail 6 drives the clamping claw 5 to move upward. After the cup falls into the clamping claw 5, the clamping claw 5 clamps the cup, and the driving guide rail 6 moves the clamping claw 5 to the discharge area for loading. After the loading is completed, the clamping claw 5 moves to the cup cover area, so that the cup cover falls on the top of the cup, and then moves to the cover pressing mechanism. The mechanism operates to fix the cup cover and the cup, completing the operation process.

[0050] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in similar ways, but they will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
